The Drink Curse.

The traffic in intoxicating liquors
impoverishes large number of inhab-
itants, destroys the life of untold
thousands and is productive of the
greater portion of the vice and crime of
the state. We believe that the saloons
are enemies of industry, promoters of
idleness, the foe of domestic happiness
and virtue, the accessories to shame
and degradation. Their prosperity
means great injury to business inter
ests, enmity to the advancement of
the laboring classes, destruction of up
rghtness and morality. There is a
heavy active retail business in drink in
Side by side with the traffic in what
brings comfort and enjoyment are sa-
looms, the managers of which sell that
which brings misery and death. Be-
hind screened windows may be seen
well-to-do drunkards, with their heads
buried between their hands, throwing
the dice for more drink. Stupid, stolid
and helpless, they know not at what they
stumble. 1t is safe to say that there
ought to be a popular moral revolt
against the American saloon. The
good of the community would be better
secured by Graduating these enormous
abuses of liberty, which debauch men,
stultify their intellects, corrupt their
morals, bring shame and disgrace to
families, deplete purses, degrade and
debase the men and women who in
dulge to excess, and aid and abet in
every crime known to the Lawmakers
perjury, arson, murder, homicide and
infanticide. What panorama of dis
grace and disgust the weakling and i'm
beetle drinkers form as they daily and
hourly file into these saloons for beer
and ale. London porter and stout
wines, liquors, whiskeys, brandies,
rum, half-and-half, and we do not know
all, but all of which are said to contain
too much alcohol and too little nour-
ishment to waste the time, not to say
the money, it costs to get it.

John Jones' Monument.

John Jones began at the age of fif-
teen to build monument and finished
it at fifty. He worked night and day,
often all night long on the Sabbath.
He seemed to be in great hurry to get
it done. He spent all the money he
earned upon it--some say $4,000.
Then he borrowed all he could; and
when no one would loan him any more
he would take his wife's dresses, the
bed-clothes and many other valuable
things in his home and sell them to
get more money to finish the monu-
ment. They say he came home one
day and was about TO take the blankets
that lay over his sleeping baby to keep
it warm, and his wife tried to stop him,
but he drew back his fist and knocked
her down, and then went away with
the blankets and never brought them
back, and the poor baby sickened and
died from the exposure. AT last there
was nothing left in the house. The
poor heart-broken wife soon followed
the baby to the grave. Yet John kept
working all the more on the monument.
l saw him when he was about fifty
years old. The monument was nearly
done; but he had worked so hard at it
that / hardly knew him, he was so
worn; his clothes were all in tatters,
and his hands and face, indeed his
whole body, were covered with scars
which he got in laying up some of the
stones. And the wretched man had
been so little in good society all the
while that he was building that he had
about forgotten how to use the English
language, his tongue had somehow be-
come very thick, and when he tried to
speak out would come an oath. That
may seem strange, but have found
out that all who build such monuments
as Johns prefer oaths to any other
word! Now come with me and | will
show you Johns monument. 1t stands
in beautiful part of the city where
five streets meet. Most men put such
things in cemetery. But John had
his own way and put it on one of the
finest lots to be found. "Does it look
like Bunker hill monument" asks little
Amy Arlott by my side. Not at all.
John didn't want to be remembered in
that way. He might have taken that
! fifty thousand dollars and built an asy-
lum for the poor little children that
have no home, and the people would
have called the asylum his monument.
But here we are at the front door. 1t
is grand house! 1t is high and large,
with great halls and towers, and velvet
carpets, elegant mirrors and piano,
and | know not what all; so rich and
grand. This is John Jones' monu-
ment! And the man who sold John
nearly all the whiskey he drank lives
here with his family, and they dress in
the richest and finest clothes. Do you
understand it?-EH Perkins," Wit and
Humor Of the Age"

The Saloon and the Family.

There is no evil which operates so
directly and with such disastrous po-
tency against the family as the saloon.
1t is the direst enemy of domestic hap
piness, purity and peace. Even in its
mildest manifestations it alienates men
from their homes; creates in them hab-
its of selfish indulgence; gives them
sensual interests apart; brings into
competition with the innocent recrea-
tons of the home circle coarse, vulgar
and eXtravagant amusements. In Its
more pronounced operations, it stops at
no such trifles as the production of
mere discomfort, but, proceeding with
out disguise, turns men into wild
beasts and then lets them loose upon
their families. What makes this es-
pecially shocking is that we are all
acquainted with its truth, yet we
have hitherto tolerated it passively.
The horrors to which drink exposes
women are worse than those of
slavery. Much has been writ
ten of late years about the alleged
quickening of sensibility, the enlarge
ment of humanitarian tendencies, the
revolt against cruelty in all its manifes-
tations. Is there not danger of the
moral atrophy engendered by self
conceit, when illusions so ilattering can
co exist with the actual life we are
living? Familiarity with evil must
have blinded us alarmingy when we
can seriously believe that we have
reached real height of reform; that
we have attained a stage of civiliza-
ton pure enough to be proud of; that
there is no special need for concern be-
cause of the sins that do most easily
beset us,-Atlontic Monthly.

THE FIRST KEEN TwINGE.-As the
season advances, the pains and aches
by which rheumatism makes itself
known are experienced after every eX-
posture. 1t is not claimed that Hoods
Sarsaparilla is specific for rheuma-
tism-we doubt if there is, or can be,
such a remedy. But the thousands
benefited by Hoods Sarsaparilla war;
rant us in urging others who suffer
from rheumatism to take it before the
first keen twinge.

were thinking of the glad meetings of
the morrow-thinking of the dear faces
that should welcome their return in the

beating in secret, as the pilot and
the captain paced the deck uneasily,
peered through the storm and "ques-

" Fishing Point light ought to show

M. NJ. Estee delivered an address on
grape.growing and wine.making ia Cali.
fornia. The address was an elaborate
and finished effort. The speaker said
that in his opinion there has been no
time when the Pacific Coast consumed
more than six or seven million gallons of
wine year. Hence, the home demand
is limited and market must be found
abroad. There are two objects in view
one to make a good quality and the
other to find market for it. Wines to
ship East or to Europe should be first.

of ample age, and which will command
q good price when they arrive there. 1t
costs as much to cooper and transport
poor wines as it does the best wines.
There is very little good old wine in this
State to-day, but there is. a large amount
of very young wine; but very young
wine is not marketable. In 1856 the
whole wine crop of France was 553, ,O00,.
600 gallons. During that year the i'm.
ports of wine into France were about
four times as much as were her
exports. There can be no more pro.
pitious time for California to enter into
the field of competition in the great wine
than now.
As to the varieties of grapes to be
planted, this depends entirely on locality
- IL q
The first among claret grapes is the Cab.
ernet.Sauvignon. 1t makes q light, rich
claret, the best that can be made, and |
the best the world has ever produced.
For q very rich, delicious white wine,

waited iu many of the leading vineyards
Of Southern and Central California.
Senator Stanford has at Vina over 400
acres of this grape alone. Grape
brandy will soon figure largely
in the financial success of the
vineyards of this State, and it can be
made from any grape grown. The Falle,
Blanch, Burger, Vests Prolific and the
Reisling make fine brandy. For the last
ten years the California vineyards have
been gradually climbing up the hills.
The first vineyards planted in this State
were planted on bottom land, doubtless
because it was then supposed that the
bottom land was the only place where
grapes would grow; bat more recently
every thoughtful vineyardist has come
to the conclusion that hill lands are con
spicuously the best for the production of
at least high type of light wine. For
the making of sweet wines and brandies
the reverse of that rule may be possible.
Most harsh wines are made from
unr rpe grapes. The internal revenue on
grape spirits ought not to exceed forty
ceuts per gallon; then the producer
could obtain net, say, from 80 cents to
81. so gallon for his brandy when it is
new. This will pay him, and it will get
rid of large amount of inferior wines
by producing superior brandy. Wine
should be what it imports to be. Mr.
Estee stated that he had received dis
patch announcing that Governor Bartlett
had signed the Pure Wine bill. A dis
cussion followed upon the topics touched
upon in the papers submitted by Messrs.
Crabb and Estee. 1t was stated that the
artificial introduction of tannin into the
fermenting wine should be avoided in
this State; new wines should be fire..
quently racked; great care must be used
in sulphuring oooperage which is to con.
tain red wines.
